Thank you for the patch, not related to the patch content but related to
the patch format:
patch subject is too long, it is expected to be around 50 characters,
can you please move some of information to the patch commit log?

Also since this is a fix, commit log requires a Fixes line.

More details on:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/patches.html#sending-patches

Thanks,
ferruh

The subject line of the patch email becomes the first line of the
git commit message. This also documented on 'git commit' man page.

DISCUSSION
       Though not required, it’s a good idea to begin the commit message with
       a single short (less than 50 character) line summarizing the change,
       followed by a blank line and then a more thorough description.

Overly long summary lines are flagged as errors by tools like Debian lintian.
